There are no animal products that make-up the sizing and the primer for this fine canvas. Historically, traditional canvas grounds have included egg tempura, pigments with cow urine, and of course, rabbit skin glue. In today's rapidly advancing world, there are many more choices available for artists who prefer non-animal based products that perform far better than their animal-based predecessors.

Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) Primer Pigment
This primer contains premium-grade Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) white pigment, renowned for its exceptional performance in acrylic priming. Its standout feature is its enduring whiteness, coupled with remarkable flexibility that persists over time. In contrast to other pigments such as zinc dioxide, Titanium Dioxide maintains its resilience, preventing brittleness as it ages. This quality ensures that artworks retain their integrity and will stand the test of time.
Our Hardcore™ Pro Pro Canvas Panels are the flattest on the market. They are made using MDF (medium density fiberboard) which is the highest quality engineered wood board on the market. Moisture in the board can cause undesirable results to the panel and your artwork, which is why we size the board with four layers on the front before the canvas is mounted, thereby defending against moisture getting into the board and underneath your artwork.
Canvas Panels should be as flat as possible, otherwise, they don't display well in a frame, and can create spaces between the artwork and the frame. A bowed panel is also a sign of having been impacted by the effect of moisture. Canvas can shrink, even after it is mounted on the board. For this reason, Masterpiece® developed a unique proprietary process that stress-relieves each panel, thereby virtually eliminating the bow that is commonly found in competing panel products. Hardcore™ Pro Canvas Panels provide a stable foundation for your art.

True perfection in all things is no longer known or prized.
♦ Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
A name that echoes through the annals of classical music as a beacon of genius, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart frequently found himself at the crossroads of innovation and tradition. In an era characterized by evolving musical tastes, Mozart consistently sought a delicate balance between the familiar and the groundbreaking. This sentiment of his reflects a longing for an appreciation of craft, detail, and the intrinsic value of art.
Throughout our art careers, we are constantly faced with the challenge of maintaining authenticity while evolving with the times. The relentless pursuit of novelty often overshadows the elegance of mastering the fundamentals. Yet, like Mozart, it's crucial for us to remember and honor the roots of our craft, understanding that the depth of true perfection often lies in the subtleties, the nuances, and the painstaking attention to detail. The beauty and legacy of art don't merely reside in innovation but in the dedication to excellence and the reverence for traditions that have paved the way for us.
With a nod to Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, we present these words of wisdom and our own custom crafted portrait. Let this fusion stoke your creative fires. Dive into your art!
